CLERks.-The swarm of applicants for
clerkships at the opening of the present ses-
sion of the Legislature was like unto the To-
Gusts Of Egypt. The unnecessary clerks
employed by some Of the committees show ne
potism, rather then economy. Rhinehart and
family are enjoying a groundswell. They
have struck it rich. A sufficient clerical
force is necessary, but an excess of this shows
that an Understanding" was arrived at.

THE RosEBURG ScANDAL.-Quite fur
ore has been created in all circles of society in
the last week. This city seems to not take to
such sensations very kindly, and this is the
first of any magnitude for many years. A
number of persons seem to be implicated one
way and another. Al present we mention no
names and withhold our views as TO the guilt
or innocence of all concerned, for the reason
that many conflicting stories are afoat, and
the persons accused say that they will be win.
,dicated in the end, and great deal that is
done Is only tentative, hence at present we are
impressed with the proverb of Solomon, that
"a still tongue makes wise head" We de-
plore necessity Of such things, but fully be-
iieve that right viii prevail, and good will re.
suit as a final issue to the whole proceedings.

GILBERT IND SULLIYAN'S NEW
OPERA

1t Falls as Fiat British 4udiencc as
Did "Pinaforc.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Times' London ca
blegram: ''Ruddy Care; or, the Witch S
Curse" was produced at the Savoy theeter
Saturday evening, and Gilbert and Sullivan
probably realized that they are face to face
with the first real failure in their career
When the curtain finally fell there was kissing,
the first ever heard in the Savoy theater.
The first act Of the opera went off fairly, but
the second fell fiat from the very beginning,
and was gloomy and tedious failure. The
feeling is very general, among both critics and
| professionals, that the thing cannot hold the
stage any length of time. The name is de-
! cidedly against it, and the only features which
the audience regarded as notable smack Of a
music hall.
| AN ANSWER FROM THE Archbishop.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Michael Davitts
impassioned defense of DIR. McGlynn, together
with his bitter attack upon Cardinal Simeoni
was topic Of general discussion to-day.
When Tribune reporter called, Archbishop
Corrigan said he did not desire to discuss Mr.
Davltt's speech at length, but to protest
againstthe attack on Cardinal Simeoni. "The
cardinal" +" he added sis the holy fathers sec
rotary. What he does is done under the di
rection Of the pope himself. Consequently tc
attack the cardinal is equivalent to attacking
the holy father. Mr.. Davitt might just a:
well have attacked him as his secretary
Hence most emphaticaly protest agains
such an attack"

| true stories about these places; but
where the story of one unfortunate il
made public, hundreds break and die
after a few months of anguish, and
their stories are unknown. Words
fail to describe the iniquities of these
places.
The civil authorities in many parts
Of the peninsula and in the lumber
and mining districts of Wisconsin
have often been in league with the
keepers of these brothels, and have
been paid to neglect their plain duty.
Others, who would scorn to accept
brides from such uuclean hands, have
passed over the whole iniquitous sys-
tenn as unfit for decent man to be
concerned in.
Repeated exposures of these places
have been made since Judge Grant
began his righteous crusade against
them, and in Michigan numerous
convictions have been secured; but
in Wisconsin the traffic has -four
ished almost unmolested. Recent ex-
posures in regard to virtuous young
woman taken to the Marinette den
under promise of work in a hotel have
opened the eyes of the Wisconsin
officials, and Governor Rusk has
taken the matter in hand. Among
those who know him, there is no
doubt that he will succeed in wiping
out the stain which has SO long tar
nished the fair name of Wisconsin.
The Governor cannot himself enforce
the State laws, but he can remove
any and all county officers who
neglect their duty, and he has sworn
to do so.-TTimes- Democrat.

A meeting Of the people interested
in the building of the Tenth-street
Hotel was held last evening, in the
engine-house on Ninth street, DR..
Hagan in the chair. The prospect is
a bright one, and the building is as
sured. The amount required by the
incorporation is $65O,OOO, and up to
last night the amount actually SUBJ
scribed was $64S. 900, and rather
doubtful subscribers bring this up to
1866, $50. The committee propo.e to
raise $3.50, 900, or surplus of 500, 000.
Mr.. Stephenson stated that great
many people were wondering why
operations had not commenced, and
he felt sure that the sooner they COM
menced the better, and then the
doubtful subscribers would at once
come forward with their subscriptions.
He moved the following resolution,
which was unanimously carried, viz. !:
"That the directors of the corpora
ton be requested to levy Immediately
ten per cent on the amounts sub
scribed." A probable commence
ment will be made next week. 1t was
decided to send copy Of this resolu
ton to the Board of Directors. 1t was
also decided that all present should
pay the levy of ten per cent as soon
as the papers of incorporation were
returned from Sacramento. They
will be sent this week.

A BOARD BILL
Causes Peter Killen a Beating
with q Cane.

with q C0mes
Peter Killen was badly beaten
about the head and face yesterday
morning at IL O'Clock with cane in
the hands of Tom ]. Reveal, the
keeper of a clearinghouse on First
street, near Santa Fe avenue. The
trouble is said to have arisen because
Killen and seven others who had
been boarding there for several
months left and went to another
place. Killen is said to have owed
Reveal $2O.50 for board, which he
said he would pay in the afternoon;
Reveal became angry, jumped out OF
his store after Killen, and beat him
with cane, cutting bad cash on his
head. The men who witnessed the
beating seized Reveal and threatened
to hang him. One of them procured q
bell-rope from passenger car on the
track, and they would have handled
him roughly but for the timely arri
val of Officer Tom Botello, who ar
rested the man and took him to the
police station, where he was charged
with assault. Bail was fixed at $1O(
for his appearance Monday before
Justice Austin. Killen was also taker
to the police station, where DIR. CoheI
dressed his wounds.

Only His Nerve Saved Him.
A WAR Renaissance SHOWING THE
COURAGE SOME MEN POSSESS.

A war Renaissance has been printed in
MANY newspapers credited to the Amer.
Gus. (Ga.) Recorder, to the effect that
while the Confederate army was retreating
| from Shilo, and things were in confusion
at Corinth, a young soldier, evidently
fever stricken and suffering, was ordered
to work loading train. He said he was
sick. Gen. Bragg, who was at hand, was
informed that the young fellow wouldn
work, and he in person repeated the ORDER
Again the soldier said he was too SICK TO
work, whereupon Gen. Bragg ordered a
lieutenant of a Louisiana company to take
six of his men and carry the sick soldier
to an adjacent grove and shoot him.
the squad took charge OF the victim.
but Just as they were marching towards
the grove, Gen Bragg beckoned the lieu
tenant to him and whispered something
in his ear. The soldier was placed in po-
sition. but refused to be blindfolded. he
hastily wrote his mothers name and ad-
dress on a piece OF paper and handed 1t,
together with his watch and ring, to the
lieutenant charged with his execution, then
calmly knelt down and said, NOW am
ready"
The six soldiers raised their guns and
aimed them at the breast of the soldier.
Then instead OF the order Fire" the
command Recover arms" was given.
The lieutenant then stepped forward. and.
restoring the young fellows property con-
graduated him on his GOODNESS and bravery
and told him to hunt up his company and
Join it, that he was not to be shot. A few
minutes later Gen. Bragg asked that 1.-THE
boy" be brought to him that he might
promote him, but he could not be found.
A reporter found him. to-day however, in
the person of DR.. Charles Garcia. and from
him obtained confirmation OF the above
story. He said the story was true and
very nearly accurate. He was looking
for surgeon in order to get transporta-
zion to Tupelo, Miss. as he was too sick
to march. Gen. Bragg ordered him to
work, and on his refusal to work ordered
him shot. When he knelt in the grove he
closed his eyes, and when he heard the
order, Recover arms" he was in dazed
condition and wondered how it was that
he still lived. The shock, however. COM
pletely cured his fever, and he walked all
the way to Tupelo, suffering no more
from the fever.
